Untangled Up in Bluetooth: Wireless Stereo Arrives

I also tested a couple of Bluetooth stereo headphones. Again, the thought is, get rid of the wire from your iPod while you run or clean the house. The Motorola S805 ($150; hellomoto.com), right, is a full-on headset that totally and snugly encompasses your ears. The sound quality, although not as good as a wired Sony, for instance, is more than decent. The Logitech FreePulse ($100; logitech.com), left, is lighter and fits over your ears using a band that goes across the back of your neck, instead of over your head. This is particularly good if you insist on pretty much always wearing a cowboy hat, which I do. Unfortunately, the sound isn't as bass rich as with the Motorola, in part due to this open-air approach. But if you're looking for convenience over top-notch sound quality, these are both fine choices.
